Description
Summary:Collected in this volume are the first fruits of the critical edition project on Eusebius of Caesarea’s Commentary on the Psalms by the Berlin-based research team Die alexandrinische und antiochenische Bibelexegese in der Spätantike (<https://bibelexegese.bbaw.de>). That Origen is included in the title is more than just an occupational hazard, his Psalter comments being all but indelibly interwoven with Eusebius’s throughout the latter’s own working method and, beyond, amidst the historical meandering of Psalter and catenae transmission. The editors have gone a bit beyond their project’s stated aim and done Origen scholars a favour, here clarifying and ameliorating access to several prefatory and preparatory texts for using and studying the Psalter. When placed next to some texts whose Eusebian authorship has now been substantiated, the result is an immensely helpful edition of some 17 small units, each with its own window into the development of ancient Christian biblical study and textual knowledge. Indeed, beyond scholars of patristic exegesis, this volume will be of great interest to those working in the burgeoning fields of knowledge schematizations in late antiquity, prologue topics, the Hexapla, canon formation and use, and the history of biblical interpretation more broadly.
